Folder icon for Fences folder portals displaced in Windows 7

I've just purchased Fences version 3.0 and installed it 'over the top' of an existing Fences 2 installation on a Windows 7 Enterprise x64 laptop.

I've noticed that the folder icon which denotes a folder portal is now displaced a few pixels down from where it should be. See this screenshot for an example.

It's not a huge problem, it just look a bit odd.

Can it be fixed?

Interesting.

What resolution and DPI are you set at?

One monitor or many?

Thanks!

Dual Lenovo 24" 1920 x 1200 monitors (94 DPI???), all fences on the left-hand monitor.

Kind regards,

How the heck did you do that?

I plugged the resolution and screen size into http://dpi.lv/ and out popped 94 DPI. Doesn't that figure look correct?

This issue is also affecting my Windows 10 installation of Fences 3.0 - see this screenshot of my Windows 10 desktop showing a displaced icon for the folder portal.

Maybe this is something to do with the Fences label font size I am using - 9pt Segoe UI italic. If I increase the size to 14pt the folder icon is better placed in relation to the fence label text, but this displacement didn't affect Fences version 2.0.

I have reproduced this by changing the font size.

I will alert the devs and see what we can do.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

Has there been any progress in the 5 weeks since the devs were alerted to this problem?

We do not yet have a resolution. The case is still open though.

Hi,

I also have a similar problem and I have been waiting for the last past year for a solution to that, I don't know if this is too much of a hassle from a developer point of view, but everyone is getting higher resolution laptop/pcs and could like to use smaller fonts for the fence headlines, I have found a way to replace the source "folder" image file with a modified one that I made so it looks a bit less weird, but this problem is actually getting the best of the experience with Fences.

I dislike having the icon there in the first place so the fact that it is displaced drives me crazy.

In addition to fixing this issue I would like the option to turn the icon off completely please.

Thanks.

Same problem here in Windows 10 on Fences 3.

If it's hard to fix it, there should be an option to disable it.
